Brittany Weiner has represented parties in high-profile litigation, including class action lawsuits involving Uber, DraftKings, iHeartRadio, FanDuel, Wholefoods and Proctor & Gamble.

Ms. Weiner was likely chosen because of her FINRA hearing victories against major broker-dealers including J.P.

Ms. Weiner recently won a federal jury trial in the Southern District of New York on behalf of employees that alleged they were not paid legal wages.  "In her most recent jury trial victory, the employer (through its attorney) conveyed that it would not settle for a fair amount Brittany requested prior to the trial," Mr. Imbesi said, referring Ms. Weiner's last federal employment trial.  "The employer, or its counsel, could have saved significant amounts of money by settling because the verdict was significantly higher than proposed settlement amount," concluded Mr. Imbesi.

Brittany Weiner has represented clients involved in litigation that resulting in significant verdicts or settlements, obtaining millions of dollars for her clients.  She is currently a partner of Imbesi Law, P.C., managing the firm's employment, FINRA arbitration and class action divisions.
